A Horse for Heather Findlay, Chelsea W. & Beth G

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Just a quick three song poll. I was not familiar with the Heather Findlay one until today (been exploring her and related music to try to expand my horizons a bit), but the lyrics and title of the song immediately reminded me of two "modern" much loved by me tracks off much loved by me albums sung by much loved by me female artists.  Hope no one Reins on parade, has me Horse-drawn and quartered and Ripped to shreds for this poll....

Portishead - The Rip (2008)

"Wild, white horses
They will take me away
And the tenderness I feel
Will send the dark underneath
Will I follow?"

Heather Findlay - Whild White Horses (2019)

"And on that sacred dawn we'll see wild white horses running free
Wanna watch them running free
Wanna watch them running free
Running, running free
Wild white horses ride
From the dark
Into the light"

Chelsea Wolfe - Reins (2013)

"These horses they pull me
These horses they pull me
These tires they pull me
These winds they push me..."

	^^ Paul, I also love that song by Beth Gibbons & Rustin Man. I actually listened to the whole album that it's off a couple of hours before making this poll (I had heard it before). This is a favourite of mine off it. That is a nice Heather Findlay song, but it still is between my two older favourites, and since "Reins" has a vote, I will go with "The Rip" (which has been the most important of these songs to me, anyway). I love it.

	Great playing in the Heather Findlay song, but it also sounds the most formulaic of the three; nice but not very original. I'm hesitating between the Portishead one and the Chelsea Wolfe one. I find more originality (or at least "own-ness") in each of these - very different moods though, so this could depend on the mood of the day. But today, I don't know in what mood I am, so this is a toss-up, in favour of Chelsea Wolfe...
